TWENTY-SIX YEARS ESTABLISHED, 


To our Patrons. 

OR Twenty-Six Years we have been making and erecting Monuments, 
I’ Tombs, Gravestones, and general cemetery work. While our field 
has been principally within a radius of twenty-five miles of Springfield, 
some of the finest monuments we ever made were put up far from the 
home territory. Our aim is to make our dealings and work always ac- 
ceptable to our patrons, and extend our reputation by the good words that 
they will speak for us. We appreciate the many favors that we have re- 
ceived, and hoping that our work may be still better known by this little 
book, we remain 

Respectfully yours, 
McGREGORY & CASMAN.

MARBLE AND SLATE GRAVE VAULTS. 


When these are used lots never get out of order, as the earth never caves in on the remains. 


Vaults for children’s graves, 


Epitaphs. 


FATHER. 
God is love: 
Life’s labor done. 
Death comes equally to all. 
Lord, I come to Thee for rest. 
Peacefully he sinks to rest. 
Gone to a better land. 


To live in hearts we leave behind is not 
to die. 


A Christian cannot die before his time. 


Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O 
Death. 


How blest the righteous when he dies. 
Peaceful be thy silent slumber. 
Free in heart and true in hand. 


In the bright eternal city 
Death can never, never come.

How sweet the hour of closing day, 
When all is peaceful and serene. 


If God be ours, we’re traveling home, 
Though passing through a vale of tears. 


A few more toils, a few more tears, 
And we shall weep no more. 


The young and the old, the low and the 
high, ; 

Shall moulder to dust and together shall 
die. 

Love esteems it Heaven 

To abide at his side. 


The gift of God is eternal life, through 
Jesus Christ our Lord. 


Although he sleeps his memory doth live, 
And cheering comfort to his mourners 
give. 


EPITAPHS—Continued. 


He followed virtue as his truest guide, 
Lived as a Christian—as a Christian died. 


Thus star by star declines, 

Till all are passed away. 

Asleep in Jesus ; peaceful rest, 
Whose waking is supremely blest. 


It is dust unto dust, and life is but a dream, 
A flower that floats on the passing stream. 


MOTHER. 
Thy trials ended, thy rest is won. 
Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy rest. 
How desolate our home bereft of thee. 
There is a reaper whose name is Death. 
Resting in hope of a glorious resurrection. 
Thy fainting soul Jesus can deliver. 
He has called for many a loved one. 


Our mother : 
In God’s own morn her orb will rise, 
Once more a star of Paradise.

She was—but words are wanting to say 
what, 

Think what a wife should be, she was that. 

How sweet to lay our sainted dead, 

In such a place to sleep. 

Thou art gone to thy grave; 

We no longer behold thee. 

In that bright and glorious city 

We shall evermore abide. 

Sleep thy last sleep 

Free from care and sorrow. 

She hath seen her happy day ; 

She hath had her bud and blossom. 

That perfect rest naught can molest, 

Where golden harps are ringing. 

Lay down, thou weary one, lay down 

Thy head upon My breast. 

Earth has no sorrows 

That heaven cannot heal.

EPITAPHS— Continued, 


Mother, thou wast mild and lovely, 
Gentle as the summer breeze. 
In vain the tear, in vain the heart-felt 
sigh, 
All who are born to live are born to die. 
Both old and young, O Death, must yield 
to thee, 
And day by day thy powerful arm we see. 
Sleep, oh sleep! 
The shepherd guardeth His sheep. 
The gates of Heaven for her 
shall open wide. 
Jesus is the truth, the way that leads you 
into rest. 
ADULTS. 
Death loves a shining mark. 
Secure in Jesus’ love. 
Ne’er more may we behold thee. 
Thou no more wilt join our number.

Those who knew him best loved him most. 

Peaceful be thy silent slumber. 

Ihave a peace: itis calm asa river. 

God was thy Ransom, thy Guardian, thy 
Guide, 

Bear her perfect soul above. 

Jesus loves the pure and holy. 

How many hopes lie buried here ! 

I have found the shore of everlasting rest. 

Only crossed the river of death 

To that beautiful summer land. 

O for the death of those 

Who slumber in the Lord. 

A place is vacant in our hearts 

That never can be filled. 

In Heaven we’ll greet thee, 

Where no farewell tear is shed. 

There is a world above 

Where parting is unknown.

EPITAPHS—Continued. 


For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died 
And I have died in Thee. 


Oh for the touch of a vanished hand, 
And the sound of a voice that is stilled. 


A light from our household is gone, 
A voice we loved is stilled. 


Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep, 
From which none ever wake to weep. 


We shall meet to part, no, never, 

On the resurrection morn. 

Shrined in our hearts, thy memories fair 
Shall reign till life doth cease. 

There’s a beautiful land on high, 

Then why should I fear to die ? 

Life is but a winter’s day, 

A journey to the tomb. 


He gave thee, He took thee, 
And He will restore thee, 





74 


81 


Soon again we hope to meet thee, 
When the day of lite is fled. 


Death has no sting, 
Since the Saviour hath died. 


I heard the voice of Jesus say, 
‘*Come unto me and rest.” 


“Tis not the whole of life to live, 
Nor all of death to die.” 


There is no fireside, howsoe’er defended, 
But has one vacant chair. 


Thou shalt have a glorious waking 
When the blessed Lord doth come. 


Death is the gate of endless joy, 
And yet we dread to enter there. 


God sends us no gift with choicer possi- 
bilities in it than are enwrapped in 
suffering. 


EPIT APHS—Continued. 


Teach me Thy will, 

And Thy rich promises in me fulfill. 
Life is not our own—’tis but a loan, 
To be repaid. 

The debt is due—the dream is o0’er— 
Life’s but a shade. 


Come unto Me and I will give you rest. 


CHILDREN. 


Saved from earthly taint and sin. 
God takes the life He gave. 


Thou wert fair as the beam of the morn. 


Suffer the little ones to come unto Me. 
She was fair and good in youth. 
Tho’ lost to sight, to memory dear. 


God’s finger touched him—and he slept. 


Weep not: he is at rest. 


Beneath this stone, in soft repose, 
Is laid a mother’s dearest pride.

102 


Tread softly by the grave of one 
Our hearts had learned to love. 


Sweet Willie unto earth 
A little while was given. 


The dimpled hand, the ringlet of gold, 
Lie in a marble sleep. 


A little flower of love 
That blossomed but to die. 


Earth counts a mortal loss, 
Heaven an a, Bia 


The fairest buc 
knows 
Oft ne’er unfolds, but withers ere it blows. 


that flowery nature 


Whose all of life’s a rosy ray, 
Blushed-into dawn and passed away. 


Free from all temptation, 
No more need of watchful care. 


105 


106 


109 


EPITAPHS—Continued. 


God needed one more angel child 
Amidst his shining band. 


Another little lamb has gone 
To dwell with Him who gave. 


Another little darling babe 
Is sheltered in the grave. 


Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled 
Now Thy little lamb’s brief weeping.

General Cemetery Rules 
RELATING TO HOW FOUNDATIONS SHOULD BE MADE. 


No monument, tomb, or headstone shall be located upon any lot without consulting the Super- 
intendent and receiving his consent to such locations, or receiving his placement of the same. 

No lot or parcel of land shall be defined by any so-called fence, railing, coping, hedge, embank- 
ment, or ditch. 

The foundations of all monuments and headstones must be made of brick or stone and laid 
with the best of cement, and must be as deep as the bottom of the grave. 

All workmen employed in the construction of vaults or tombs, erection of monuments, etc., 
must be subject to the control and direction of the Superintendent; and all material brought into 
the cemetery to be used in improving lots must be transported and deposited within the cemetery 
in such a manner as the Superintendent may direct ; and all earth or rubbish accumulated in im- 
proving lots must be removed and deposited under direction of the Superintendent, at the expense 
of the proprietor of such lot, and any workman failing to conform to this regulation will not be 
permitted afterwards to work in the cemetery. 

° Lots are conveyed by special deed, securing to the purchaser, their family and heirs, a burial 
place forever, and perpetual care.

About Monuments. 


If you are contemplating erecting a monument you will be interested in knowing some facts 
about them :— 

Good workmanship, good material, and true proportion are the essentials of an artistic and 
enduring monument. 

Only with true proportion can the monument be pleasing. 

Only with good material can it withstand the action of the weather. 

Only with good workmanship can the best beauties of the stone be brought out. 

It takes from sixty to ninety days to make a granite monument worth from three to six hun- 
dred dollars. 

Monuments can be lettered as well on the family burial lot as at the monumental works. 

People contemplating erecting tablets for completion before Memorial day should place their 
orders as soon as possible after March 1, as everybody is in a hurry, and this necessarily hinders 
filling orders at the quarries. Winter is a good time to have work executed. 

Foundations should be placed under every tablet or monument. They should be the same size 
square as the base, and carried down to as low as the bottom of the grave, or lower for heavy work. , 

Tf a finished monument or tablet is selected from our works we can letter and set it up in a few 
days. 


4 
=| 


We believe the best is nearly always the cheapest, and ever the most satisfactory. 


Artistic designs are our careful study. 
We have been at this stand for over twenty years, during which time we have made a great 
many tablets, monuments, memorials, and sarcophagi—in round numbers about eight thousand. 


We believe in doing what we say. 


SOME OF OUR WORK. 


The figure on the D. L. Harris monument was modeled and every detail of the work executed 
at our works. Also the figure that stands on Mrs. Thomas Allen’s family lot. We claim that the 
above two pieces of work are the finest and most delicate examples of monumental statuary ever 
executed in the city of Springfield, or, indeed, in Western Massachusetts.

How to Clean Marble. 


You can remove stains from marble with chloride of lime mixed with pulverized chalk. 

Or you can use lemon juice or vitriol in equal quantities for this same purpose by wetting the 
stain with a soft cloth. 

You can remove grease from marble by placing French chalk over the stain, then holding a hot 
iron near enough to soften the grease so that it may be absorbed by the chalk. 

Ink stains may be removed from marble by making a paste of one-half ounce of oxalic acid to 
one pint of water, adding flour enough to make like paste—can be spread on over the stain and left 
for five days. 

Soap lees with quick lime mixed to the appearance of milk if left on dirty marble for twenty- 
five hours, then washed with clean soap and water, will clean marble nicely. 

Alcohol will remove dirt, dust and specks from statuary without any injury to the statue.
